A coupled Lagrangian-Eulerian model for microplastics as vectors of contaminants applied to the Mediterranean Sea

The pervasiveness of microplastics in global oceans is raising concern about their impacts on organisms. While quantifying their toxicity is still an open issue, sampling evidence has shown that rarely are marine microplastics found clean; rather, they are often contaminated by other types of chemic...
